Loyalty Night!

As the holiday season is approaching, we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your loyalty and support throughout the year. We feel incredibly lucky to have you as our customer, and we want to show our appreciation by inviting you to an exclusive night of holiday shopping at our stores! 

Come and join us on December 14th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for a night of festive fun, shopping, refreshments, and special deals. You’ll get double points for all purchases that evening (that means triple points for all you VIP folks!). All purchases of $20 or more will receive an exclusive Rifle Nutcracker Tote, and if you spend $250 or more you’ll receive a $50 gift card to use at a future visit! 

We’ll have sparkling refreshments and sweets available, so you can enjoy some delicious treats while you shop. Plus, our knowledgeable staff will be on hand to help you find the perfect gift for your loved ones…or maybe just yourself! 

Want to bring a friend who isn’t part of our loyalty program? No, prob! They can sign up here or on the night of the event! We would be thrilled to have you join us for this shopping night and celebrate the holiday season together.

Gauche Workshop with 1Canoe2

This past weekend, we were thrilled to host a pair of fabulous gauche painting workshops with shop-favorite vendor, 1Canoe2. For two hours, participants joined Haley from 1Canoe2 for a beginner class all about gauche painting in 1Canoe2’s signature breezy style.

Haley led the group through several exercises and everyone left with some beautiful paintings and their own set of paint & brushes. Add some sweet sips & snacks and it was a perfect event. Thanks to everyone who came and made the events such successes!
